Noosa on the Sunshine Coast needs no introduction, with its world-famous sun, surf and sand. If you’re wanting to explore this slice of pandanus palm-fringed paradise, check-in to Ingenia Holidays Noosa, a short drive from bustling Hastings Street and just next door to the Tewantin National Park mountain-bike trails. You’ll want at least a few days to discover Noosa’s coastal charm, thriving food scene and diverse landscapes, so check-in to one of the cabins, villas, camp or caravan sites that deliver big holiday experiences for those with a smaller Noosa budget. When you’re not busy exploring what’s on offer within the park itself, you’ve got a large Noosa backyard to explore from the beach to the hinterland and national parks in between. With an action-packed kid’s program each school holidays, it’s no wonder this park is known to book out. Throughout the year, you’ll always find something happening at Ingenia Holidays Noosa with facilities that will eliminate the words “I’m bored” from the kids’ vernacular altogether with a pool, jumping cushion and games room to name just a few things on offer. With temperate weather all year round, soak up the outdoors and onsite facilities including BBQs and camp kitchens when you’re not exploring the Sunshine Coast’s favourite resort playground.

Just serene! You do hear the occasional vehicle but nowhere near as much as you would think.

Had a great time! The amenities available are fantastic especially being able to escape from the heat in the cinema room with a new born baby! Horse rides were also a massive highlight!

Weekend Trip to Prime Mary River Camping

Loved our camping experience at this hipcamp!! Great location on the Mary River, plenty of space between the campsites so your not jammed in and listening to your neighbours conversations!! Only a 10 minute drive from Gympie if you have to grab some last minute items you had forgotten to grab. Great access to the river if you bring a kayak for a paddle or even just go for a swim in the river. We will definitely put this campsite on our favourites list and will camp there again. Access is great for caravans too, we took our 22’6” ban there and was able to get in and out without any bother. Probably wouldn't take a 2wd and caravan there if there has been a lot of rain as there is a considerable grass hill to negotiate when leaving the campsite, although I didn't need to engage 4wd to get out in dry weather

The property was one of the most beautiful properties we have stayed at. With veiws overlooking the Mary River, soft mowed thick green grass to camp on. Big safe iron fire pits for the evening. Cool breeze every afternoon that come down the river that are refreshing. We also felt very safe. The cows are so well looked after. The whole experience was fantastic. Well done to the owners. The river was easy to access very refreshing, our puppy had an absolute 💯 % time

Beautiful, big, well-maintained sites with huge fire pits. Very clean camp areas. Our first time camping with our dogs who loved the creek and the shady camp. Lots to explore. Peaceful and private getaway. Kaye surprised us with a dozen fresh eggs in the morning and a little gift on arrival. Thanks Kaye!

Weekend Trip to Prime Mary River Camping

We loved our campsite. Nobody is too close together. The kids took our paddle boards down to the river and explored. It was a great stay for 2-3 nights.
